Custom font

[Blinker.]

Hello folks,

i'm using a custom font to draw a vehicle's health ,but i got 2 problems ,

1 - it lags when the number changes like if i had 99% hp and i hit someone it will go down to 90 % and here it lags for 1 sec

2 - when the number changes also , a line is drawn under the number like in this photo :

nothing more to say.. i've tried bangothic font and it works with 0 lag.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Show us the code, how else can we help you?

My first guess, is that you are creating the font on every render.

local font = dxCreateFont( "font.ttf",19 ) 
  
function render() 
  
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
local health = math.round(((getElementHealth(vehicle)-250)/750*100),0) 
local speed = getElementSpeed(vehicle) 
  
if health <= 0 then 
health = 0 
end 
  
  
dxDrawImage ( sw-118, sh/1.15,110,70, 'progress_health_bg.png') 
dxDrawImage ( sw-118, sh/1.15,speed,70, 'progress_speed.png') 
    dxDrawText(health.."%", sw-118, (sh/1.15)+5,sw-6,1,tocolor(r,g,b,255),1,font,"right") 
  
  
  
  
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,render)

I don't know why, but some font files have bad performance. You could try with a different font, or a different format of this font.

Maybe the font size provided was not created to be used to a very large size, afaik.

i've tried another custom font , it works with 0 lag.

so i guess the first font "28 days later" have bad performance , thanks.
